| 1. Method for reserving isochronous resources in a wireless network comprising at least a wireless source device, said method
comprising:
providing an output plug in a wired source device on a wired bus connected to the wireless source device, said output plug
being associated with an output plug register defining a maximum amount of data output by said output plug during a frame
on the wired bus;
reserving an amount of bandwidth on the wired bus corresponding to said maximum amount of data to be sent in a frame on the
wired bus;
providing an output plug in said wireless source device, said output plug being associated with an output plug register, wherein
said output plug register defines a maximum amount of data output by said output plug during a wireless frame;
reserving an amount of bandwidth on the wireless network corresponding to said maximum amount of data to be sent in a wireless
frame with an isochronous resource manager of the wireless network; and
providing, from the wired source device to the wireless source device, isochronous data to be sent over the wireless network,
wherein said wireless network is based on a TDMA frame transmission scheme.
